Decellularised extracellular matrix-derived peptides from neural retina and retinal pigment epithelium enhance the expression of synaptic markers and light responsiveness of human pluripotent stem cell derived retinal organoids [PDF]
, 2019 Tissue specific extracellular matrices (ECM) provide structural support and enable access to molecular signals and metabolites, which are essential for directing stem cell renewal and differentiation.

Science, 2019 Recent studies have demonstrated an array of stem cell–derived, self-organizing miniature organs, termed organoids, that replicate the key structural and functional characteristics of their in vivo counterparts. As organoid technology opens up new frontiers of research in biomedicine, there is an emerging need for innovative engineering approaches for ...

Cellular aspect ratio and cell division mechanics underlie the patterning of cell progeny in diverse mammalian epithelia. [PDF]
, 2018 Cell division is essential to expand, shape, and replenish epithelia. In the adult small intestine, cells from a common progenitor intermix with other lineages, whereas cell progeny in many other epithelia form contiguous patches.

Defective Tmprss3-Associated Hair Cell Degeneration in Inner Ear Organoids [PDF]
, 2019 Mutations in the gene encoding the type II transmembrane protease 3 (TMPRSS3) cause human hearing loss, although the underlying mechanisms that result in TMPRSS3-related hearing loss are still unclear.

Human Brain Organoids and Consciousness: Moral Claims and Epistemic Uncertainty
Organoids, 2023 Human brain organoids provide a remarkable opportunity to model prenatal human brain biology in vitro by recapitulating features of in utero molecular, cellular and systems biology. An ethical concern peculiar to human brain organoids is whether they are

Cornea organoids from human induced pluripotent stem cells. [PDF]
, 2017 The cornea is the transparent outermost surface of the eye, consisting of a stratified epithelium, a collagenous stroma and an innermost single-cell layered endothelium and providing 2/3 of the refractive power of the eye. Multiple diseases of the cornea

Life Science Alliance, 2022 Over the last decades, organoids have been established from most of the tissue-resident stem and iPS cells. They hold great promise for our understanding of mammalian organ development, but also for the study of disease or even personalised medicine. In recent years, several reports hinted at intraculture organoid variability, but a systematic analysis

Patient-Derived Organoids in Precision Medicine: Drug Screening, Organoid-on-a-Chip and Living Organoid Biobank [PDF]
Frontiers in Oncology, 2021 Organoids are in vitro self-assembling, organ-like, three-dimensional cellular structures that stably retain key characteristics of the respective organs. Organoids can be generated from healthy or pathological tissues derived from patients. Cancer organoid culture platforms have several advantages, including conservation of the cellular composition ...

Basement membrane-rich Organoids with functional human blood vessels are permissive niches for human breast cancer metastasis [PDF]
, 2013 Metastasic breast cancer is the leading cause of death by malignancy in women worldwide. Tumor metastasis is a multistep process encompassing local invasion of cancer cells at primary tumor site, intravasation into the blood vessel, survival in systemic ...
